When your offense cannot stay on the field and give good field positions to the opponents, you cannot expect your defense to bail you out all the time (The same story applies to the Bills too).

Actually that is not true. In the NFL, if you find a successful play, teams will repeatedly use it until the opponent(s) can stop it. That is what good teams do. Look at NE. Their bread and butter throws are the quick slants to Welker and Gronowski. They will run those plays until someone can stop that. Football is football at any level. You line them up and play man-on-man and if your man can consistently beat his assignment, teams will continue to make the same play. Even Gailey ran the screen so many times because it was successful with Spiller as the Catcher.

Why? He went 9-7 in his 1st year as a HC. His 2nd year Bills and 1st year Jags are teams short-on-talent. You can only do so much with those teams especially when there is such a big question mark at the QB position.

Hopes: There were glowing quotes from Jerry Jones and Bill Cowher Gailey had got a lot out of Thigpen in KC. People were confident that Gailey would be able to do the same with Trent Edwards or Fitzpatrick Gailey would be the right person to turn Marshawn Lynch around. Question Marks: There were a lot of questions as to why Gailey was fired before the 1st game of the season by Todd Haley in KC There were question marks as to how he won nothing with the Yellow Jackets as HC There were HUGE question marks about his coaching staff as not many of them had any NFL Experience. There was a big Question mark about Edwards being able to run a 3-4 after being a linebackers coach

Can they stop the Run ?

Why so much vitriol for our former HC. Murlarkey never has given a reason in public as to why he left Buffalo. He even said so in the calls prior to the game against the Bills. When Levy took over this team, he already had Jauron in his radar and he probably forced Mularkey to make changes to his staff that he was not comfortable with (May be he wanted Jauron to be his DC and Mularkey refused). No one reallly knows what happened during that time in OBD. It would be just easy to let it go and move on with life.

There has been absolutely no indication from this coaching staff that this is going to be a "rebuilding year". What makes you think that hiring Lovie would not do a "rebuild". Every NFL HC is going to look at his stable of players and decide what needs to be done. This staff is yet to make a single Personnel move and you are already claiming that it will be a "rebuilding year".

This :thumbdown: Spiller is one of the most dynamic players in the league. Why would you want to trade him if we ourselves can have better coaches to make use of his talent.

+1

And why not. The last approach definitely did not work. Gailey came in with a bunch of scrubs from his Georgia Tech days.

Agree. The yards/attempt provides a sense on his consistency, something he sorely lacked.

+1. I don't want DeHaven anywhere near OBD. It is time for him to hang it up.

What ? No footage of the Umpire and the Refs ?

Oh. Don't worry. I am sure there will be enough folks who will complain that the Bills are not doing their due diligence and in a hurry to hire people who are unlikely to be hired by others..

We need to build depth on the OL. When Wood went down, Young was just ok and it showed in those losses. When Wood came back, he again had a dominating game. +1. Wilson, Scott, Kelsay and Barnett need to go. In the name of Leaders, we are holding on to piss-poor players (and who free lance).

I am sure CBS is going to charge for it. This would conflict with the programming rights for NFL (Gamepass).

Jackson is a free agent and am not sure why he would want to re-sign with the Bills, if they are not going to provide him an opportunity to compete for a starting job. Fitz may stay back if he is willing to take a pay cut, if Doug gives him an opportunity to compete for a starting job with another veteran FA or rookie selected in the draft.

I hope he does not garner too much attention and vaulting himself into the top 5. The real concern is that a majority of the teams ahead of us are QB Needy.

And the fact that Wisenhunt has not yet been scooped in spite of 5 openings indicates that there are some serious red flags (Mainly in QB evaluation). I am glad we passed on him.

I think the Bills have really surprised many with the way they have approached this whole process. It is lights out different from how it was three seasons ago. To see that the Bills were part of the same search as the Eagles, Chiefs, Browns, Cardinals and for them to come on top with the hire of a candidate that was hotly pursued by these teams gives me hope that the Bills may just have turned the corner.

The thing that hit me the most: "The amazing thing to consider about Marrone is how he was willing to change both the offensive and defensive systems basically in season. That shows a coach who is open minded and willing to listen to the advice of staff. Finding coordinators who he trust but who also bring the same kind of open mindedness is more important than finding a coach who is married to any one system" This was one of the major downfall of Chan Gailey. He refused to experiment. When Fitz is was struggling, he was stubborn and adamant that Fitz gave him the best chance to win. He did not give Jackson a chance. Flexibility is the key in today's NFL and unfortunately Chan did not have that.

The fact that they won those close games making the necessary plays at the end of the game is a testimony to their coaches preparing them to play a full 60 minutes and to the players for going out and actually making those plays. As Bills Parcells always said, your record is who you are.

Should be "Rising Star" like the Sun.

Or if they like him so much as the "gushing" in this article, they may just sit pat and take him at #8. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000123802/article/doug-marrone-can-solve-buffalo-bills-ryan-fitzpatrick-problem

He also was responsible for the loss to the Titans and possibly
